Singapore’s Park Connector
Network
The Park Connector Network (PCN) was developed to
create a matrix of green connectors linking Singapore's
parks, gardens, and nature reserves. It aimed to
increase residents' accessibility to nature and greenery
while promoting environmental stewardship
The PCN has revolutionized commuting and recreation
in Singapore, allowing residents to cycle or walk
through green corridors. It promotes a healthier
lifestyle, provides a refreshing commute to work, and
contributes to Singapore's goal of becoming a car-light
city (Lee, Zhan et al.2020).

What
The Data will involve :
1. Singapore Maps
2. Park Connector Loop Datasets from Both Nparks
and URA
3. Park Connector Masterplan 2019 from URA
4. Spatial Data of HDBs
5. Spatial Data of Offices and Amenities

Why
By visually representing data related to the network, such as the locations of existing connectors, planned expansions, and areas that require
improvement, data visualization tools can provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the network's availability and connectivity.
Individuals can easily identify the nearest park connectors to their location, helping them incorporate these routes into their daily commutes
or exercise routines. Moreover, data visualization allows users to assess the connectivity between different areas, helping them plan their
routes more efficiently and effectively.
Data visualization also serves as a powerful tool for urban planners and decision-makers. By analyzing and visualizing data on park
connector usage, footfall, and feedback from users, planners can identify which areas are less accessible or lack connectivity. This information
enables them to prioritize infrastructure improvements or additions in these areas, ensuring that the Park Connector Network continues to
expand and enhance accessibility for all residents.

Cloropleth Maps
To represent the spatial distribution of HDB buildings
and highlight areas with limited park connector access
Heat Maps
Possibility to depict the density of park connector
usage and help identify popular areas.
Spatial Overlay
By overlaying commercial and amenities areas onto the
park connector network, you can create a visual
representation of the accessibility of these facilities
from different parts of the network.
Network Diagram (TBC)
Network diagrams can visually represent the
connectivity between MRT stations/HDBs/Commercial
Areas and the park connector network.
Potential Outcome
1. Existing Park Connector Loop Maps
2. Indication of access to park connector networks
3. Spatial HDB Buildings to identify the connected
areas and lack of accesses to support people’s
daily activities
4. Spatial Commercial and/or Amenities Areas to
indicate the potential accessibility from home to
office/amenities (Ini kalo terlalu ambi, kita bisa
focus ke HDB aja sih lol)
5. Identify the accessibility of MRT Station with the
park connector networks.
